[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the folks on here are hacks. I am not from FCV but the club's success speaks for itself. We can discuss which club is best for an individual kid but if a kid can make the top squad and get major playing time at McLean or FCV, the parents would be crazy not to give that offer serious consideration. If your kid is a B or C player with aspirations of playing in college, I would consider other options before going to any big club, including FCV or McLean. You are better off playing for a smaller club with a solid coach and making the move to the top team of a big club later.

ECNL and DA will remain relevant unless the HS option changes. If DA allows HS, ECNL might fold. There is zero need for two elite leagues. In the area, places like McLean, FCV and Bethesda will remain the leading clubs because they have a track record of delivering players to top clubs.[/quote]

The FACT that clubs like FCV received very little outside interest demonstrates that your analysis is 5 years old. Younger age groups are seeing kids staying put due to other options.

If FCV is to continue to stay on top it needs to sell more than arrogance because kids have choices they didn’t have 3 years ago and it is showing itself starting with the 07 age group. [/quote]

You do know that quality players try out there throughout the year, even as recently as last night.

FCV will pick up 1-2 players of quality at a time, all while expanding the base with STJ U8-U12 teams.

The club doesn't bring in wholesale groups of D1 talent at a time, it develops players internally while carefully selecting externals to come in.

Nothing is going to change that.[/quote]
